As someone who has been cyber-stalked, I thought this film was quite realistic. The soundtrack was appropriate and nuanced, there was good attention to detail in the many online exchanges, and the main character was relatable. I thought the theme was pertinent - when you put yourself online as a public figure, there is a natural human repsonse to be dragged down. There are many scenes you have to rewatch to read the full text, or to see a clue in the background. And this is an undeniably beautifully shot film. The movie has a stiff Canadian feel to it, but as a Lifetime Movie fan, I personally like this style.

There is nothing wrong with this movie except that it is too amateur. Meaning too shallow, no depth, and unrealistic story details. I could even hear fake setup background noise. Holes in the story, weak expressions, lame, predictable, boring. But simply looking there is nothing bad. Good serious topic which is stalking, cyber stalking, bullying, cyber bullying. Meaning very real topic, and few acts. Actors are not beautiful or interesting as some others but at least they are real and normal. Similar but much worse than movies Friend Request (2016) and Unfriended: Dark Web (2018).

Great performances and excellent production values make this thriller easily worth the watch. Some good edge of your seat moments and the film is a bit of a whodunit as well. Very relatable for our social media generation. A fast and fun albeit scary ride. I'm rating this as a Hallmark/Lifetime-style film, not as an Academy Award contender.

The lead, "Jo," played by Julie Crisante was such a down to earth believable character. She was strong, yet showed her vulnerability which made her character so rich and real. I absolutely love this character because she had this beautiful femininity yet this grit.

The technical aspect of the film was also so enriching and really well-done. The instant messages and the text messages were sometimes hard to keep up with, but that is what made it so believable!!!! This is life as we know it right now & this film captured this very real subject perfectly. I can't wait to watch it again because it was fast moving so really kept you engaged the entire time, yet it is so detailed that you just want to go back and make sure to soak in every single moment.

The supporting characters were so believable, as well! The acting was stellar, the scenery was beautiful, and the camera work, lighting & overall production was very well done.

I was intrigued right away with this movie because it was different then the same storylines that continually get repeated. It is also current touches on the dangers of the reach technology can have in the wrong hands. I also found it to be realistic. I like how the movie ended as well. I want to say so much more but I don't want to ruin it for others. I think it was well done! I look forward to future productions! Very talented group of actors, writers and directors!
